200 for bathtub?... advice needed...

[jasnick]

Hi all,

Me jus selected a flat and going to start reno soon and i m thinking of installing a bathutb...

Anyone has any recommendation of any good and cheap bathtub brands? Is it possible for me to pay $200 for a bathtub?

Or where to buy cheap bathutubs?

Anyway what is the market rate for a normal bathutb with no jets?

Thanx...

My toilet width around 2m ... can it accomodate 1.7X700 bathtub? Any advise?

 

[jasnick]

hi light thunder,

my toilet is 2080mm.. my ID told me that the max length i can buy for bathtub is 1.7.. so i guess your toilet should be able to accommodate..

but better check with your ID.. cos other than the bathtub still got to lay cement..

hope this helps..

I thought I only seow one that want bath tub in mini HDB flat. But why dun u ask ur ID, he will be able to install for u. Another forummer mentioned that he got his @ $300. Done by his Contractor. FH hesitant. He say waste water...

 

[jasnick]

actually its FH who wanted the bathtub.. and its me who think its a waste of water.. heehee.. =P

[matsu]

[jasnick]

hi matsu,

[devilz]

I bought my bathtub from SSC (Contessa <S$300) &amp; Joven from Poh Joo at 225!

 

[kopimei]

I bought one from Rigel only $260. With pop-up.

 

[tittieal]

Hi, is thread still active? was wondering all the prices stated here are inclusive of delivery &amp; installation? Anyone can help? Thanks


Hi sot, can i noe what's a "pop-up"? thanks

 

[kopimei]

Check out rigel

 

[dwbhappy68]

my id say the kind build with wall tiles is more costly.

 

[elinwokk]

is pop up - "stand alone" type tub? $260 is gd price right? it sounds reasonable anyways

 

[disneybaby]

hi.. i was wondering how much does a stand alone bath tub cost? i looking for a cheap one .. enough to soak myself inside can already. can anyone help?

Thanks

[tittieal]

[27012007]

[lemoncool]

I don't like the bathtub from the ex-owner and do not wish to spend a lot of money re-doing the whole bathroom. I am wondering is it possible just to replace it with a new one and only re-tile the constructed part?

It is possible since it only affects the constructed part and did not reach the water proofing membrane? Can someone share their experience?

Hi,

My bf and i wanna have a bathtub in our future place, but wondering wot length to get. Both of us r 1.53m tall, wot do u think is the shortest length tt we'll b able to use comfortably?

 

[pskin]

Hi all, always wanted to have a bathtub pref with jets.. however i hear many objections even from my id as its not practical. You have to wash it everytime you use it and maybe even before you use it..

The purpose of the bath tub is for me to relax in it, but the idea of having to sweat it out washing the tub after every spa i do then it really defeats the whole purpose..

is it true that i have to wash it tat often to maintain? or should i consider a portable one so that i can discharge it in future if i get sick of washing it.. i also read that the soap residue gets stuck inside the jets easily causing it to jam after a long period of time.

pls advise. thanks.

Light Thunder

[pinkbunny]

I also want a bathtub in my bathroom. My bf intially wasnt v keen but after he had a soak in a hotel's bathtub... now he knows why I want a tub at home. Haha... if space permits we'd consider installing it in our new abode.

Hi, peeps.
Me also looking for contractors, anyone here bot a resale flat thru ERA? heard they have their own contractors and if u buy house from an ERA agent, they will do it at a subsidised price. So any experience/advice? How much is a good budget to set aside for reno for a 5 room flat? Maybe jus to do up the dining, kitchen and toilet area with walk-in wardrobe? Thanks! btw, if there are cracks on the wall, shd i b concerned? it is a 5 room flat in Senja area and they say it is not structural but still if i buy that place, will it be a recurring prob? how much would it be to fix that up?
